The Quiet Woman by Priscilla Masters
2.0

Florence was a nurse practitioner has a patient, a man and a wife Who keep visiting her Clinic. The wife keeps claiming different symptoms but all her tests keep coming back negative even after months of investigation. The Husband is always there and speaks for the wife whenever the nurse asks her a question. Later the wife is found dead and the husband in a coma in the result of what seems to be a suicide pact. The nurse is convinced that the husband had gaslit his wife into committing suicide, and he took a low-dose of the drug that had killed her so he would only end up in a coma and not die.
That sounded like such an interesting premise for a book, didn’t it? I was excited to get into it, however for about 300 pages, nothing else happens other than nurse Florence dating, dealing with her ex and just regurgitating her suspicion of the circumstances in which the wife died. There were times when I wanted to yell at Florence that fine ok I get it! You don’t think it was a suicide. Can we please move on!

Honestly, if this was not an advance reader copy I would have not finished it. When I receive an arc book, I take it seriously and I make sure to finish it. I hate giving bad reviews. I don’t enjoy it. I know how much work and effort goes into writing a book. I am struggling right now to find something good to say about this one.
If you do wanna read it, just read the blurb and then read the last two chapters of the book and you will know exactly what happened in the entire book.
